In short: Poor start but great too finishIn full: Ushered up to start way too early and got very cold waiting for the gun. I liked the way the pins were moved forward but it was way too soon. Not bad for first Kilomathon though. Great training distance for full marathonDate of review: March 15, 2010

In short: It gets better each yearIn full: All too often we criticise run's so i'd like to compliment Birmingham for a fantastic event. The fact that i knocked three minutes off my PB say's it all. + atmosphere, course profile, organisiation, support. - pen allocation not followed causing lots of hold ups early on, scenery except Bournville Village, that last kilometre! All said and done all these comments and feedback will no doubt help the organisers improve this already fantastic eventDate of review: October 12, 2009

In short: A very friendly, well organised raceIn full: A good challenging course with a few short rises to test your legs. Marshalls were really supportive along the route as were those who manned the water stations. Although quite a testing course for the first timer my running partner did a PB so not that bad!Date of review: October 5, 2009

In short: Not bad for the first one!In full: Found the start very difficult with slow runners and even some power walking which delayed my progress. Better segregation at the start required for 2009. I prefer a round and back course. Probably come back in 2009 as it is near to home and i ought to support it.Date of review: October 29, 2008
